FULL CIRCLE: I dedicated my last story for Dallas Morning News to my father, a bracero. His sacrifice for a better gave me opportunity to become a writer to tell his story & that of others. The bones of buildings are the aching bones of my bracero father dallasnews.com/news/immigrati…

The Wittliff has generously offered to become the guardian of my literary legacy. Born out of passion and discipline and struggle, my life’s work has come to rest in the heart of Texas. Exile has given way to belonging.

In 3 days, I will leave the 60th decade of my life & slouch toward the 70th decade of breathing, crying & laughing on this lovely earth. I just survived my 2nd bout of THE COVID. Still writing, still painting, still pissing off those on the right.

Tomorrow I will be 70! Bring it on!

Today I turn 70! Anybody want to dance? Let’s all say LOVE together.

Saturday, I’m giving a reading in my new gallery. Proud of an awesome space, a perfect venue for readings and performances. Check out my latest paintings. 7:00. Q&A & Reception afterwards. Let’s celebrate!

I haven’t posted here for a long time. What the F!!! Is Donald Trump doing in my home page. And who are people who are reposting his nonsense? Trump followers, I invite you to leave my page.

Finished writing my new young adult novel. Writing. gets easier after wrestling with words for more than four decades. But easier doesn’t mean easy. Writing reminds me of the many ways I’ve failed. I have, however, learned how to love. That matters.
